It would be nice if the LiveCDs ran some script in /mnt/cdrom when they booted, so users could (somewhat) easilly make changes to the LiveCD by writing a script to run after it booted... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Should be possible in catalyst, if it isnt, then please open a bug with them.
Shouldn't need to be handled by catalyst. This is a request for a script outside of the gcloop to be executed, so CDs can be reauthored without using catalyst. Is this really FIXED?
I think /etc/conf.d/local.start serves this purpose. I'm assuming it works the same way on the newer livecd's?
But isn't /etc/conf.d/local.start within the gcloop? Thus, it would not be possible to modify it with standard CD programs. catalyst or some other gcloop creator would be neccesary. The script for this bug would need to exist directly on the CD's filesystem.
So what you're asking for is a pre-determined script name that the LiveCD will try to execute once booted, that exists outside of the loop, and is therefore easily modified/changed?
Right. It's much easier to simply add a tbz2 and a script to extract it on the CD outside the gcloop and reburn it than it is to modify the gcloop contents. There's numerous other possible uses, also.
I don't really see the point of this - the script is going to have to be in /mnt/cdrom and you might as well put your changes in there as well. Either way, patches welcome.
The changes *would* be in /mnt/cdrom... the advantage is that the changes do not need to be made within the [g]cloop/squashfs image, but are uncompressed on the CD.
I'm on the genkernel alias now...
This should actually be fixed in 3.2.0_preX+; just create cdupdate.sh on the ISO and it'll get executed.
